Abstract
Nucleic acid (NA) extraction is an essential step in molecular testing for a wide range of applications. Conventional extraction protocols usually suffer from time consuming removal of non-nucleic acid impurities. In this study, a new magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) is presented to simplify the NA extraction. A core–shell design, comprising of a ferromagnetic core coated with mesoporous silica, forms the basis of the functional nanoparticle. Chemical functionalization of the silica coating includes a multistep synthesis, in which an activated nanoparticle is coupled with a triethylene glycol spaced glycosyl imidazole. The molecular design aims for charge interactions between the imidazolium-based positive nanoparticle surface and nucleic acids, with specific hydrogen bonding between the surface bonded carbohydrate and nucleic acid targets to ensure nucleic acid selectivity and avoid protein contamination. Two different carbohydrates, differing in molecular size, were selected to compare the efficiency in terms of NA extraction. A triethylene glycol spacer provides sufficient flexibility to remove particle surface constraints for the interaction. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis shows a significantly larger surface area for the disaccharide-based particles NpFeSiImMalt (∼181 m2 g−1) compared to the monosaccharide analogue NpFeSiImGlc (∼116 m2 g−1) at small particles sizes (range ∼ 15 nm) and sufficient magnetization (29 emu g−1) for easy isolation by an external magnetic field. The particles enabled a high DNA particle loading ratio of 30–45 wt% (MNP/DNA ratio), reflecting an efficient extraction process. A high desorption rate (7 min) with more than 86% of unchanged DNA loading was recorded, indicating low damage to the target extract. New design of cationic magnetic core–shell nanoparticles fabricated with a large hydrophilic group (carbohydrate molecules) enabled high adsorption of a nucleic acid, easy isolation and controlled the movement by applying an external magnetic field.![]()

Abstract
A non-destructive approach based on magnetic in situ hybridization (MISH) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for the specific capture of eukaryotic cells has been developed. As a prerequisite, a HCR-MISH procedure initially used for tracking bacterial cells was here adapted for the first time to target eukaryotic cells using a universal eukaryotic probe, Euk-516R. Following labeling with superparamagnetic nanoparticles, cells from the model eukaryotic microorganism Saccharomyces cerevisiae were hybridized and isolated on a micro-magnet array. In addition, the eukaryotic cells were successfully targeted in an artificial mixture comprising bacterial cells, thus providing evidence that HCR-MISH is a promising technology to use for specific microeukaryote capture in complex microbial communities allowing their further morphological characterization. This new study opens great opportunities in ecological sciences, thus allowing the detection of specific cells in more complex cellular mixtures in the near future.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is an important infectious factor in the food industry and hospital infections. Many methods are used for detecting bacteria but they are mostly time-consuming, poorly sensitive. In this study, a nano-biosensor based on iron nanoparticles (MNPs) was designed to detect S. aureus. MNPs were synthesized and conjugated to Biosensors. Then S. aureus was lysed and nano-biosensor (MNP-TiO2-AP-SMCC-Biosensors) was added to the lysed bacteria. After bonding the bacterial genome to the nano-biosensor, MNPs were separated by a magnet. Bacterial DNA was released from the surface of nano-biosensor and researched by Nano-drop spectrophotometry. The results of SEM and DLS revealed that the size of MNPs was 20-25 nm which increased to 38-43 nm after modification and addition of biosensors. The designed nano-biosensor was highly sensitive and specific for the detection of S. aureus. The limit of detection (LOD) was determined as 230 CFU mL-1. There was an acceptable linear correlation between bacterial concentration and absorption at 3.7 × 102-3.7× 107 whose linear diagram and regression was Y = 0.242X + 2.08 and R2 = .996. Further, in the presence of other bacteria as a negative control, it was absolutely specific. The sensitivity of the designed nano-biosensor was investigated and compared through PCR.

Abstract
The growing problem of resistant infections due to antibiotic misuse is a worldwide concern that poses a grave threat to healthcare systems. Thus, it is necessary to discover new strategies to combat infectious diseases. In this review, we provide a selective overview of recent advances in the use of nanocomposites as alternatives to antibiotics in antimicrobial treatments. Metals and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been associated with inorganic and organic supports to improve their antibacterial activity and stability as well as other properties. For successful antibiotic treatment, it is critical to achieve a high drug concentration at the infection site. In recent years, the development of stimuli-responsive systems has allowed the vectorization of antibiotics to the site of infection. These nanomaterials can be triggered by various mechanisms (such as changes in pH, light, magnetic fields, and the presence of bacterial enzymes); additionally, they can improve antibacterial efficacy and reduce side effects and microbial resistance. To this end, various types of modified polymers, lipids, and inorganic components (such as metals, silica, and graphene) have been developed. Applications of these nanocomposites in diverse fields ranging from food packaging, environment, and biomedical antimicrobial treatments to diagnosis and theranosis are discussed.

Abstract
An Immuno-Nano-Biosensor with high sensitivity was designed based on iron and silica nanoparticles to detect B. abortus. Briefly explain, primary polyclonal antibody (IgG1) was conjugated on surface magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to form MNP-IgG1. Secondary polyclonal antibody (IgG2) and Horseradish Peroxidase enzyme were conjugated on silica nanoparticles (SNPs) to form HRP-SNP-IgG2. HRP-SNP-IgG2. MNP-IgG1 and HRP-SNP-IgG2 were added to B. abortus. The MNP-IgG1-B.abortus-IgG2-SNP-HRP complex was isolated from the reaction mixture using a magnet. After that, tetramethylbenzidine was added to the complex. The reaction was stopped with HCl and investigated using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The nanoparticles' structure and size were investigated using SEM and DLS. Immuno-Nano-Biosensor sensitivity and specificity were determined. The SEM and DLS results indicated that the SNPs, MNPs, HRP-SNP-IgG2 and MNP-IgG1 size and structure were 35, 44, 60 and 56 nm, respectively. In addition, a good linear correlation was observed at 102-107 CFU mL-1 concentrations, which their linear equation and regression were Y = 0.3× + 0.18 and R2 0.982, respectively. The limitation of detecting B. abortus was 160 CFU mL-1. Finally, the results demonstrated that those designed Immuno-Nano-Biosensor could be specifically detected B. abortus and B. melitensis in real samples.

Abstract
In recent decades the applications of nanotechnology in the biomedical field have attracted a lot of attention. Magnetic and gold nanoparticles (MNPs and GNPs) are now of interest as selective tools for tumour treatment, due to their unique properties and biocompatibility. In this paper, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) decorated with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been prepared by means of an innovative synthesis process using tannic acid as the reducing agent. The as-obtained nanoplatforms were characterized in terms of size, morphology, structure, composition, magnetic response and plasmonic properties. The results revealed that hybrid nanoplatforms (magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles, MPNPs) composed of a magnetic core and an external GNP decoration, acting in synergy, have been developed. Biological tests were also performed on both healthy cells and cancer cells exposed to different nanoparticle concentrations, upon laser irradiation. GNPs grafted onto the surface of MNPs revealed the ability to convert the received light into thermal energy, which was selective in its detrimental effect on cancer cells.

Abstract
We present a scanning Hall probe microscope operating in ambient conditions. One of the unique features of this microscope is the use of the same stepper motors for both sample positioning as well as scanning, which makes it possible to have a large scan range (few mm) in the x and y directions, with a scan resolution of 0.1 μm. Protocols have been implemented to enable scanning at different heights from the sample surface. The z range is 35 mm. Microstructured Hall probes of size 1-5 μm have been developed. A minimum probe-sample distance <2 μm has been obtained by the combination of new Hall probes and probe-sample distance regulation using a tuning fork based force detection technique. The system is also capable of recording local B(z) profiles. We discuss the application of the microscope for the study of micro-magnet arrays being developed for applications in micro-systems.

Abstract
Horizontal gene transfers are critical mechanisms of bacterial evolution and adaptation that are involved to a significant level in the degradation of toxic molecules such as xenobiotic pesticides. However, understanding how these mechanisms are regulated in situ and how they could be used by man to increase the degradation potential of soil microbes is compromised by conceptual and technical limitations. This includes the physical and chemical complexity and heterogeneity in such environments leading to an extreme bacterial taxonomical diversity and a strong redundancy of genes and functions. In addition, more than 99 % of soil bacteria fail to develop colonies in vitro, and even new DNA-based investigation methods (metagenomics) are not specific and sensitive enough to consider lysis recalcitrant bacteria and those belonging to the rare biosphere. The objective of the ANR funded project “Emergent” was to develop a new culture independent approach to monitor gene transfer among soil bacteria by labeling plasmid DNA with magnetic nanoparticles in order to specifically capture and isolate recombinant cells using magnetic microfluidic devices. We showed the feasibility of the approach by using electrotransformation to transform a suspension of Escherichia coli cells with biotin-functionalized plasmid DNA molecules linked to streptavidin-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles. Our results have demonstrated that magnetically labeled cells could be specifically retained on micromagnets integrated in a microfluidic channel and that an efficient selective separation can be achieved with the microfluidic device. Altogether, the project offers a promising alternative to traditional culture-based approaches for deciphering the extent of horizontal gene transfer events mediated by electro or natural genetic transformation mechanisms in complex environments such as soil.
